HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV
ANTENNA Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor TV antenna is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.
FIRST TIME USE
LOCATION Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc. VIEWING The major benefit of the HITACHI Projection Television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing. The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left and right of the receiver. During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room. If the TV's audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system's external speakers, the best audio performance will be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least four feet from the side of the TV, place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best performance.

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE TO CONTROL YOUR TV
VIRTUAL HD button Press this button to toggle between 1080i and 540p. 540p and 1080i represent two ways to display the TV signal. Progressive: The "p" in 540p tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the progressive format. With the progressive format the complete picture is created by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen from the top to bottom. If you look very closely at the screen there will be a very small space in between each line. The progressive format is good for displaying fast moving programs such as a sporting event. Interlaced: The "i" in 1080i tells you that the display is showing you the picture in the interlaced format. With the interlaced format the picture is created by drawing lines across the screen from left to right which fill the screen from top to bottom, and then returning to the top and drawing another set of lines in between the first set. The TV draws the lines so fast that our eyes can't see them. If you look very closely at the screen you will notice a smoother image than with the progressive format. The interlaced format is good for displaying detailed images like feature films. You can compare the progressive and interlaced formats by toggling the "VIRTUAL HD" button on the remote control. Some people like the crisp picture from 540p and some people like the smooth and detailed 1080i. Hitachi offers you the choice. NOTE: The VIRTUAL HD button will not change the picture with a 1080i HDTV input. HDTV signals bypass the VIRTUAL HD circuitry and are shown in their native 1080i format.
INFO button Press this button when you want to check the channel being received, the picture source, if the channel has stereo (ST) or second audio program (SAP), the time and CHANNEL ID.

Your HITACHI Projection TV incorporates Dual Tuner technology designed for improved viewing enjoyment. This Dual Tuner feature allows you to view antenna inputs on both the main picture and sub-picture simultaneously, with separate tuning control for each. The Dual Tuner can operate with only one input (ANT A only) or two inputs (ANT A and ANT B). ANT A input can be viewed as both the main picture and the sub-picture simultaneously. ANT B can only be viewed as a main picture. To select between main picture and PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH button on the remote. The green highlighted channel display will move with every press of the PIP CH button. When the top channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the main picture. When the lower channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the PIP sub-picture. The Picture-in-Picture feature is convenient when you want to watch more than one program at the same time. You can watch a TV program while viewing other programs from the ANT A source or any of the video inputs.

NOTE: MOVIE MODE 3:2 PULLDOWN DETECTION SPECIAL FEATURE Theatrical movies are shot on film at 24 frames or still pictures per second, instead of 30 frames or 60 fields like video. When film is transferred to video for television viewing, the disparity between the two frame rates must be reconciled. This involves a process known as 3:2 pulldown. When MOVIE mode is selected from the Picture Mode menu, your Hitachi Projection Television will activate the circuitry for this special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources. This 3:2 pulldown detection will only work in MOVIE mode.
